Nederland, TX 79 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Founded in 1897 by Dutch settlers, Nederland translates to "Lowland" in Dutch. The Dutch settlers were given the territory of Nederland as repayment for funding the Kansas City Southern railroad. To this day, Nederland remains an outlier in Texas with many of the street names maintaining their English and Dutch roots. At first, Nederland was an economic powerhouse in the community because of their rice and dairy farming. However, the discovery of oil in 1901 has led to a transformation of the economy in this Texas town. Nederland is characterized by an eclectic vibe that incorporates their Dutch history with a Louisiana Cajun flair. View Nederland City Guide

Finding an apartment in Nederland that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.

While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.

If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
